The 19th annual "Taste of Greeneville," formerly known as the "International Tasting," will be held on Tuesday, May 13, starting at 6 p.m. in the General Morgan Inn's ballroom.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the programs of the Greeneville Woman's Club and Main Street: Greeneville.

The 2007 Tasting was sold-out and attended by more than 300 people.

Ann Van Buskirk, chairman of the Greeneville Woman's Club's International Affairs committee and the event's planner, said, "This is always a fun event. Every year people tell our club members how much they look forward to the annual Taste of Greeneville.

"This year we will ask attendees at the event to vote for the best decorations and best food item. We will present the winning restaurant with an award certificate."

She added, "We appreciate the General Morgan Inn for providing the space for the event, and their employees that work with us towards its success."

Tickets for the Taste of Greeneville can be purchased in advance at the General Morgan Inn's front desk. Ticket prices are $8 and are limited to 350 attendees. Tickets can be purchased at the event until they are sold-out.
